Hi all, this is to share my experience with other users and asking for
help from the developers. ;-)
I have quite a number of LyX documents made in Mageia5 using LyX 2.1;
TexLive 2013; classicthesis-LyX-v4.1, most of them with the module
'Linguistics' loaded and using different bibliography styles.
After upgrading to LyX 2.2.0; TexLive2016; classicthesis-LyX-v4.2 and
loading those older documents I found the following when trying to
export to PDF:
* Beamer presentations > OK
* All types of Koma-Script documents >> basically OK with some minor
adjustments, inter alia regarding the bibliography style, e.g. oscola
* classicthesis-LyX-v4.2_biblatex_biber and
classicthesis-LyX-v4.2_biblatex_bibtex8 >> do compile all example
files as well as their original 'ClassicThesis.lyx' template without
any problem.
* but trying to compile any of my classicthesis-LyX-v4.1 documents I
get either an endless loop or heaps of errors - there are so many
different errors that I eventually gave up trying to fix them
I also started copying parts of my old documents into a new one but even
text that I considered not very special produced errors.
Authoring everything entirely new seems to be the only way as far as I
see now. Well is that it?
Any explanation, clue, advice etc. is highly appreciated.
Cheers and thanks,
Michael
